Walter Replacement Clamping Nut for 4.5-6 Inch Backing Pads

Keep Your Grinders Running

In a busy fabrication shop, small parts can cause big delays. The Walter 48R288 Clamping Nut is the replacement hardware you need to keep your angle grinders operational. Designed to secure abrasive discs to backing pads, this nut is a vital component for welders and fabricators who rely on resin fiber discs for weld blending, beveling, and surface preparation. A stripped or lost nut can halt production instantly; keeping a spare 48R288 in your toolbox ensures you are always ready to grind.

This heavy-duty nut fits standard 5/8"-11 spindles and is sized perfectly for 4-1/2", 5", and 6" backing pads. Its robust metal construction resists cross-threading and wear, providing a long service life even in harsh shop environments. It is designed to sit flush and tight against the abrasive disc, ensuring maximum contact area and preventing the disc from spinning loose under load.

Don't compromise on safety or performance by using mismatched hardware. The Walter 48R288 is engineered to match the specifications of Walter backing pads, providing the correct clamping pressure without damaging the disc center. Whether you are working on mild steel, stainless, or aluminum, this simple yet crucial part helps you achieve consistent results and maintain a safe working environment.
